Plymouth thanks Borough of Bridgeport for help during tragic time

The township was left at a huge disadvantage not only for losing a member of its police force, but also for all who were affected by his death.

Some Plymouth Township officials, including the chief of police, township manager and two members of the township council attended the Bridgeport Council meeting on Tuesday night to personally thank the council as well as police Chief Zenny Martyniuk for their help during that time.

“At the time of crisis, there were no boundaries; there was no politics, no questions. Whatever was needed, the other municipalities did for us,” Sheldon Simpson, chairman of Plymouth Township Council, said.

Simpson continued by thanking Martyniuk for sending officers to the township as needed to assist in any way possible.

“The support from the community as a whole is really nice to see, but it’s unfortunate that it has to come at a tragic event like this. But it’s nice to know that we can all, when we need to, come together,” Plymouth Chief of Police Joseph Lawrence said.
